Which packages are affected by GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv?

GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv affects the following packages: github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv?

Update github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server to 3.0.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv?

GHSA-j26g-95ph-2mwv has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.2%, placing it in the 66th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.
